The minor in social welfare studies provides courses in social work and electives in social and behavioral sciences to provide an overview of the social services field.
What can I do with this degree?
This minor would be a great complement to those majoring in psychology, sociocultural studies, or reconciliation studies. It’s also ideal if you’re passionate about social justice and want to study in the fields of politics or law, local or global ministry, or healthcare.What skills will I develop?
- understanding of the complexities of policy-making and community impact
- reconciliation and social justice strategies
- critical thinking through micro and macro lenses of communities
You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in the R.E.A.L. Experience—a program specifically designed to help you gain the relevant, hands-on experience employers desire—so that when you graduate, you’ll be as impressive in practice as you are on paper.
